Section 12 of the original steps of The Eiffel Tower. These steps are now in the desert of Southern California in Felicity.
The mission's Christmas tree is the dried stalk of a century plant flower. It has great shape and texture, and serves well as a stand-in for the more traditional conifer in a place where no such trees are available.
These images were made during a journey down Rustic Road 44 in Marinette County on June 24, 2017.
R-44, Right-of-Way Road, crosses two creeks and is adjacent to the Lake Noquebay State Wildlife
Area and Marinette County Forest land. R-44 was originally part of the Wisconsin-Michigan Railroad.
Wisconsin's Rustic Roads system was created to preserve many of the state's scenic, lightly traveled country roads. Features of Rustic Roads include rugged terrain, native vegetation and wildlife, or open areas with agricultural vistas.

I finally got my D90!
Right after I graduated (and got scads of money), I ordered my new camera off of ebay!
It took like a week to get here.... The shipping was way too slow. My parents went to Utah for about a week and brought the D40: the camera I used to use. Meanwhile, I sat at my desk looking at others' work while fuming about not having a camera.
I'm happy now, though!
In case you're wondering, I did make the bowls in the picture.
It's a test shot, but I thought it looked cool enough.
The early signs of the approaching autumn are all around us. Leaves are changing from green to brown, or in this case to red. Nature is getting ready for the cold months ahead. Trees are getting ready to shut down and hibernate, waiting until the early signs of spring 2012 before starting the life cycle once more....
Parts of this tree are already in the colours of autumn and it was still only August

Scavenge Challenge September 2012 - "25. Last month, we delicately applied post-processing to improve our photos. This month, we're going to take that a step further and render an image into an artistic version using a heavier hand. Again, photos should be presented as a diptych, side by side for comparison. The challenge you face here is to create something which is visually appealing to a general audience, NOT a garish, over-the-top alteration. Two options to consider: stylizing (rendering as a painting or sketch) or adding a texture to your original image."
Ok… fuzzy wording ("heavier hand") has me scratching my head. To much? Not enough?
We'll try THIS picture and see if it flies.
Obviously, the top shot needed some serious work, although low exposure has benefits if you know ahead of time you want to add in texture/grain. In addition to fiddling with exposure, I pulled on curves and levels, applied vignette, sharpness (more sharpness, yet more sharpness), plus some lightening (of the side of the pan) and polarizing (of the backdrop to kill some of the sheen that developed when I upped the exposure).
If I had to do it over again, I would have tried a small reflector on the pan or just gone with a higher exposure and hoped I could get enough "grain" using sliders, as the black was pretty much a black hole as taken.
All was done in Aperture 3.
* Duke = the stage name of the Golden Retriever in the Bush's Beans commercials, named after the real Golden Retriever owned by the Bean Bush's family.

You could smell this aromatic booth from a mile away! Eugenia of Rustic Soap Company makes bath and body products that are out of this word.
It's hard to tell on the plain white background, but this Rustic Sphinx moth is huge -- more than big enough to cover the palm of my hand. They can be up to three inches long, front to back. Besides that, they have a really striking and complex pattern. This was the first one I'd ever seen in person, and it was really impressive.
Rustic Baubles
These truly stunning bauble bundles make unique and beautiful Christmas decorations. Each bundle is made up of 6 baubles, all hand made from recycled glass and tied together with recycled 'Kantha' saris.
All Nkuku glass is 100% recycled. This not only saves energy (50% less energy than that required to make new glass) but is an ongoing process, as glass can be recycled continually. This means we can create new beautiful and useful objects with less impact on our environment.

- Originally christmas Trees were decorated with apples, strings of popcorn, white candy canes and pastries in the shapes of stars, hearts and flowers.
- Glass baubles were first made in Lauscha, Germany, by Hans Greiner who produced garlands of glass beads similar to the popcorn strands and tin figures that could be hung on trees.
- The Polish name for baubles is 'bombka' which translates as 'a little bomb'.

Some ropes on the harbor side in Conwy. Love old ropes, just something simple yet kinda interesting, well for 15 seconds at least.
